The door opened, and the heavily armed Gordon walked in First, he turned around to close the door He then knelt on one knee He looked serious and whispered anxiously, ”Miss Nicole, sorry for barging into your rooent I also came here secretly… That is why, I cannot…”
”Please speak, Commander Gordon” Nicole replied calmly
Gordon's voice was not loud but it was very clear
”Just about two hours ago, His Majesty the Eician and the , said…”
”What did they say?”
”They said that His Majesty only has a few days left to live!”
”What!” Nicole jumped as she looked at Gordon
Gordon whispered, ”I had only just learned of this and immediately came here to tell you!

At this moment, the Duke of the Tulip Family is not in the Imperial Capital, so I can only report this to you!”
Nicole's eyes flashed as she thought to herself for a moment She then whispered, ”Thank you, Commander Gordon…” She then loudly said, ”Co to the Imperial Palace!”
Gordon was surprised and loudly asked, ”Miss, you are going to the palace right no…”
Nicole shook her head Her eyes looked strange as she lightly said, ”I want to hness the Empress!” She paused for a o out, first… I wish to change my clothes!”
In an Imperial looer His face was reflected on the cold blade of the dagger
A trace of grief could be seen in the eyes of the serious looking ed man Suddenly, a flutter could be heard froeon flew in froeon and then untied the thread tying a slip of paper to the pigeon's legs After that, he took a look at the e
His expression changed and his eyes turned coht, and he sneered
”He is going to die… He is actually going to die now…” Prince Barond s to die now!”
He suddenly threw the paper in his hand, onto the ground and hatefully shouted, ”Why? Why did o smoothly but my son is dead?”
After taking in a few breaths, he gradually calround and read it again He then laughedsoon… Then I will become Emperor! I am the Emperor!”
He laughed so hard that tears started to flow out
After he calmed down, he took a deep breath and shouted ”Come!”
Prince Barond looked at his subordinates that came in and said, ”Dispatch people to the Central Cavalry! Suiment Commander Barry to come and see me!”
Prince Barond sneered, and his eyes were fierce His subordinates could not help but feel surprised when they look at him
Prince Barond's expression sank and was about to say soh thePrince Barond quickly walked to the pigeon and took the paper containing theHe frowned and said, ”What other news could there be…”
The lanced at the paper, his eyes turned wide and he suddenly shouted, ”What happened? How could this be? She… She is actually pregnant!”
Inside the mansion of the Military Minister, Marquis Garoline of the Lionheart Family
The old Marquis stood in front of the door He had just learned of the news that His Majesty was dying and was currently unconscious When he learned of this, his eyes treave an order to his trusted subordinate
”Go to the Northern Legion ianize the soldiers and then wait for e! Tell hie He is not allowed to act rashly without any instruction from me! Now that His Majesty the Emperor is about to die, the person to inherit throne would be Prince Barond… We were on bad terms as I was His Majesty's trusted confidante When he succeeds the throne, that is going to be very bad for me! Tell Milo to be prepared for any unexpected circumstances!”
After giving the order, the old Marquis sighed and murmured ”It is tiain… This really makes people becoainst the Lionheart Faet that we still have control of the Northern Legion of the Empire!”
Marquis Garoline was then escorted by the guards out of the e Suddenly, a horse rushed through the streets and stopped in front of the Marquis'the uniform of the Imperial Palace then immediately jumped off the horse
Marquis Garoline realized that souards not to stop the man He whispered, ”Why did you coe”
The man quickly walked to Marquis Garoline's side and whispered so into his ear
The sly, old fox had ed to keep cal However, the moment he heard those words, his facialto the Imperial Palace anymore!”
Marquis Garoline looked at the guard's stunned expression He gloo to Prince Barond's mansion!”
After Garoline said that, he boarded the carriage and glooht of those words spoken by the planted agent from the Imperial Palace
”Her Highness the Enant! The chief medical officer confirether with Her Highness the Ehness the Eiven the order in the name of His Majesty the Emperor to recall the Duke of the Tulip Family! This order had been approved by His Majesty's two uncles!”
The old Marquis glooritted his teeth ”Tulip Family…”
A horse quickly rushed in through the East gate of the Imperial Capital However, it was not stopped by the defenders of the city as the person on the horse held the command token of the Imperial Family The horse rode quickly towards where the Central Cavalry was stationed
A horse also left the I thethe horse looked serious, because he was acting on an order from Marquis Garoline
In the South, about ten miles away fro quickly
If Sieg or Gordon had seen that horse, they would be very surprised That was because that was the black horse, 'Garrus', which the late Duke of the Tulip Family had ridden for many years
The horse was taller and moreand its muscles powerful The blue hair of the cavalryman fluttered in the wind and he had a resolute expression He assue to reduce the consuth as much as possible
That was because he knew that the journey would be very long
Rody was heading South His destination was the Purple Leaf City He could clearly remember Nicole's words
”Rody, the situation now is really dangerous You have to return to the South i as quickly as possible! At the saather his Southern Army Corps and return to the Ined personally by Her Highness the Ehness does not actually have the authority to do this, the situation now is urgent If you tell Commander Camus the situation in the Imperial Capital, he should understand! If he does not understand, you must persuade him! Master Autumn is here in the Imperial Capital You do not have to worry about our safety!”
Rody, originally, did not want to leave the Imperial Capital, but Nicole's words helped him come to a decision
Nicole said, ”Rody… Seth can be considered to have betrayed the Empire and the Tulip Family… I… You are the only one left that I can depend on! If the Enant, he would start a coup! During a coup, military power is needed! The Tulip Family has deep connection with the military When the Emperor is dead, who do you think the army would follow? They would know the moment they see the banners!”
Is it a coup? Rody sneered I aood at crafty plots However, if you were to askArmy to kill, then this is simple!
As the major powers started toelse happened on a remote and desolate hill far away from the outskirts of the Imperial Capital
It was a cee and small tombs erected there It could easily be seen that it was a cemetery for civilians Gloo it to be shrouded in fog It was quiet except for two crows occasional crowing on the branches
A strange silhouette was creeping around inside the cemetery
The silhouette was piecing soht surrounded his body
After piecing the 'last piece' together, the figure stretched his lazy waist His wood-like face showed a relaxed sht it was so simple, but it was actually quite complicated”
He looked down at his body carefully, then his eyes showed a hint of satisfaction ”Good, good It finally has a more human-like appearance However, I do not knoit can be supported… It would be better if there were a fresh corpse”
After that, he sighed ”Let's use this first…” He walked two steps aardly, and then he laughed bitterly ”What the hell! I am really not used to how a person walks”
He then continued to walk strangely out of the cemetery and finally smiled proudly
”Rody, boy, I am sure you will be surprised when you see enius!”
